https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-hit-new-sweeping-drone-assault-from-russia-after-donald-trump-volodymyr-zelenskyy-meeting/
Putin is fighting a war of attrition.
The original frontal assault didn't work, because he gave Ukraine months of warning signs by moving troops into position, and testing the West's opposition to another "walk-in walkover".
Now he hasn't got enough manpower or weapon supply to finish the job.
Witness his nightly blitz isn't softening up Kiev, and its citizens.
Rather the opposite.
Solution.
Support Ukraine with every shell/missile/drone/plane the West can pour in.
Do it quicker than he can ship in arms.
The sources are known, cut them off wherever possible.
Get the Saudis and their money onside too.
Donald and his cronies will want to be in the huge re-building programmes in the years ahead.
Wars are mainly won by logistics.
But turn up the media volume too, and make sure the Russian people and army know Putin is an aging dictator whose days are numbered.
Putin cannot trust his generals, and they are already discussing who to replace him with, and when. -

Does crushing up pills change their effectiveness?
These are pills for my dog. She gets a skin allergy in the summer. She has one pill per day divided into half in the morning and half in the evening.
In the morning I give her half the pill wrapped in a bit of cold meat. This week its liver sausage. I then starve her all day as my sister visits so we can have dinner together.
She has been volunteering to give the dog the other half pill hidden in her bowl of dog food. I would've just put the pill on top, pushed it in a bit and covered it. So the dog should eat it in the first mouthfull.
But she told me yesterday that she crushes the pill into powder and sprinkles it over the dog food before giving it one more mix to hide it. -

I was watching the launch of Blue Origin on CNN earlier. It had the first all female crew. The presenter was talking to an Aerospace Analyst.

At least Boris has seen through Trump’s Peace Proposal
From a post on X
Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson
"Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies."

Trumpski is scheduled to visit our wonderful country, meet the King, PM and address our democratic Parliament. It would be much more in the realms of sanity to invite Vladimir Putin, a man of great experience, power and intelligence, than that dictatorial, nutty, vandalising old tosspot. IMO its disgusting.

When Zelenskyy visited Washington, he was berated by Vance for being disrespectful for not wearing a suit, as was being worn by Trump, Vance et al.
When Vance is in India, meeting the Indian Prime Minister Modi, will he (Vance) be wearing a khadi kurta so that he doesn't appear disrespectful to the Indian peoples? -
